Day 24: Green Chile Puff Pastry Brie


If you like Brie, you have to make this dish! Did I mention, you have to?!?! This is the best Brie I have ever had, and it’s so very simple to make! Just think about the cheesy Brie wrapped in a puff pastry with preserves, pine nuts, and green chile – okay it tastes even better! Make it as your next party dish and your guests will thank you!

Servings: Plenty for your next party
Difficulty: Easy

Ingredients:
8 ounce Package of Brie
1 Sheet frozen puff pastry
¼ Cup Apricot or Peach Preserves
¼ Cup Pinon (Pine Nuts)
2 ½ Tbsp Green Chile
1-2 Tbsp Olive Oil
1 Tbsp Sugar

Method:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Toast the pine nuts in a saucepan with olive oil until golden brown. 
Roll out the puff pastry into a 12x12 inch square.
Spread the preserves over the puff pastry within one inch of the edge – leaving it free of preserves. Add the green chile and spread evenly. Sprinkle the preserves/green chile with the pine nuts.
Place the Brie in the center of the puff pastry.
Fold up the puff pastry over the cheese and press the edges together to seal up the puff pastry. Remove any excess dough that is not needed.
Brush the folded over side of the puff pastry with olive oil and place folded side down into a oven safe baking dish.
Brush the top side with the remaining olive oil and the sprinkle the top with sugar.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden. Let stand at least 20 minutes before eating.
